The speaker argues Solana is the best crypto setup right now, not Bitcoin, because SOL has been heavily hated, is starting to break out technically, and is benefiting from strong on-chain activity and new narratives like tokenized equities, collectibles, and upcoming perp infrastructure. He frames the current moment as a rare chance to buy a neglected trade before broader market attention returns.

The core thesis is straightforward: Solana is “really really cheap,” deeply hated, and beginning to wake up after a long stretch of underperformance, while Bitcoin is still stuck below key resistance. The speaker says he does not want to spend much time on Bitcoin until it clears the 67,300 area and gets back into the 70,000s, but he does want to focus on SOL because the setup looks asymmetric. He repeatedly emphasizes that Solana has been the “most hated trade of the cycle,” and that when hated trades turn, there is usually a large opportunity not just in the base asset but also in the ecosystem names around it. He supports that view with a mix of price action, sentiment, and adoption/revenue data. On the chart side, he points to Solana bouncing on a “very important trend line” and says the daily chart suggests a breakout is beginning. …
Tactically, SOL looks like the cleaner momentum setup while Bitcoin is still capped below resistance. The immediate risk is a failed breakout or a quick reversal if sentiment rotates back out of Solana.
Over the next few weeks or months, the base case is for Solana to keep outperforming if usage, revenue, and ecosystem launches remain strong. That view depends on upgrades and new products translating into sustained relative strength rather than a short-lived narrative pop.
Structurally, the speaker sees Solana as a high-throughput consumer chain with durable fee generation and multiple monetizable ecosystems. If its technical roadmap works, it could consolidate a lasting role as a leading venue for tokenized assets, retail apps, and eventually perps.
Solana is very cheap and appears to be waking up after a long period of underperformance.
The speaker points to nine consecutive red months, extreme bearish sentiment, and growing attention from big names as signs that Solana may be turning.
Bitcoin is still struggling to break above 65,000 and the speaker does not want to discuss it until it clears 67,300 and makes a higher high.
The speaker argues Bitcoin has not confirmed strength yet and needs to reclaim higher resistance before it is worth focusing on.
Solana is a neglected trade that could benefit from upcoming upgrades and ecosystem launches, making it more competitive with Hyperliquid in perpetuals.
The speaker cites the planned reduction in time-to-finality, a tokenomics proposal that doubles the disinflation rate, and a new perps launch as reasons Solana could compete better and re-rate.
What are the main non-perpetual narratives where Solana is winning?
The speaker says Solana is strong in tokenized equities, real-world assets, and collectible cards, and argues those narratives are being overshadowed by the perpetuals trade. They point to protocols like Backpack and Collector Crypt as examples of meaningful activity on Solana.
Why does Solana have an advantage for builders and app revenue?
The speaker argues that builders go where the users are, and claims Solana has the biggest app revenue among chains. They cite Solana app revenue ahead of Hyperliquid and Ethereum, using that as evidence that user activity and monetization are concentrated there.
Why is tokenized equities trading an important Solana use case?
The speaker says Solana is winning in tokenized equities volume and connects that to Backpack, which they describe as a de facto exchange for trading stock-backed assets onchain. They present this as evidence that Solana is becoming a venue for real-world asset trading.
